What are the three major advantages of magnesium alloy processing for bicycle parts? What are the future development prospects of magnesium alloy?
Magnesium alloy has been widely used in fields such as rail transit, electronic communication, and automobiles due to its excellent performance of low density and light material. Bicycle manufacturers have used magnesium alloy to process bicycle parts, and many domestic and foreign companies have also started to try to develop and use magnesium alloy to process bicycle parts, which has been favored by many customers. Magnesium alloy processing Bicycle frame has a good effect.
1) Three major advantages of using magnesium alloy to process bicycle frames:
1.Due to the relatively small mass of magnesium alloy, it is currently the lightest metal structural material, which can reduce the weight of bicycles, making cyclists more labor-saving and faster.
2. Magnesium alloy has good damping performance, and the frame is processed from magnesium alloy, making mountain bikes ride on uneven mountains. With good damping function, it can withstand large impacts and make riders more comfortable.
3. Magnesium alloy has good casting performance. Based on this feature, it is easier to process Bicycle frame with magnesium alloy, and Bicycle frame can be processed with CNC in small batch.
2) The processing technology of magnesium alloy bicycle frame:
1. Die casting method for magnesium alloy processing:
2.Die cast magnesium alloy has good flowability and a fast solidification rate after mold filling, without defects such as hot cracking and under casting. Die casting is divided into hot chamber die casting and cold chamber die casting, and the commonly used method for producing bicycle frames is the hot chamber die casting method. However, the replacement of bicycles is relatively fast, and the casting cost of die-casting parts is relatively high.
3. Welding method for magnesium alloy processing
4)The welding method is a very economical method of bending a deformed magnesium alloy into a frame. Compared with the die-casting method of bicycle frames, the welding method has high efficiency, stable processing control, and lower cost.
